Not slowing his pace, Rex ran at almost full speed until he was at the other side of the city then stopped and looked around puzzled.
'Whats going on?' He questioned himself. 'I cant feel her anywhere!'
Calming himself, he tried to relax in order to allow his least favorite side, the vampire, come out so as to try and help locate the girl. His body remained still and his eyes closed for a moment as he tried to focus his enhanced senses in a bid to call forth any evidence of her presence.
After about a minute, a familiar scent rose to his attention. He smirked upon recongising the scent of her blood and followed it quickly, trying not to lose the trail, towards the hotel and burst in through the door then ran past a few surprised guests in the lobby and ran down the stairs, practically gliding over them without making contact.
His short journey ended with him running out of a tunnel and screeching to halt once he arrived in the cavern. He sniffed the air for a while, taking in the strong scent of his friend and several others he could clearly tell werent human but couldnt figure out what they were either.
"No matter." He said out loud to himself. "If she's here then so is he."
He made a quick check on his weapons, being sure all clips for his twin guns were ready to be loaded and that his katana was securely fastened to his body before starting a quick walk in the direction he detected her scent emanating from.

She continued her journey into the building. Upward she climbed. She reached the top floor and felt it. The strongest pulse she had felt this whole time. She kicked open the door and there stood her sire. He looked like a monster. She walked in the room and closed the door behind her.
"Hello father." she sneered
"Nikkita... so nice of you to join... US!"
She looked around and 20 vampires stepped out of the shadow, all part of his bloodline. Nikkita glared.
"Now you will get what is coming to you!"
Three vampires attacked her throwing her to the floor. She drew her katana and slashed at the three. She caught one across the chest and the other two across the arms. Nikkita jumped to her feet and set herself in a fighting stance
"So this is how its going to end huh.... Well... Lets do this!"
She turned and ran at her sire only to be caught by five more vampire. One of them picked her up by her neck and threw her into a wall. She coughed and struggled to her feet.

His eyes moved from side to side, keeping track of the hostile eyes focussed on him as he traveresed the underground city. Such a sight had never been encountered by him before; a city complete with streets and multiple story buildings and all hidden below a seemingly normal city above. A truly magnificent sight indeed.
A subtle motion from the left catches his attention and he quickly takes a hold of his katana with his right hand and swung it around, stopping with the long weapon pointing at the forehead of an approaching demon while his left descended and slowly unholstered his pistol.
"And so it begins..."

"d**n you!" she yelled attack her adversary
She jammed her sword through its stomach and twisted the blade. The creature screeched and back up away from her sword. She took off three daggers and threw them through another vampire. A few of them jumped back and a few of them leaped forward. One of the stronger vampires grabed her again and pinned her against the wall, then he shoved her own dagger through her stomach, she yelled and grabbed at the hilt of the dagger. The vampire dropped her and she fell to the ground in a heap. She gasped for air and pulled the dagger out. Her own blood staining her hands.
"d**n you! d**n you all!"
She stood again, drops of blood running down her stomach. She dashed at the vampires katana directly infront of her. She staked three of them on her sword. Then they all stopped and looked in the direction of her sire.
"Leave her... she's mine!" she growled and advanced on her, his eyes glwoing red.

Noise filled the sub-terranian streets as Rex fought his way through hoardes of demons and vampires alike.
"Come on!!" He yelled, his eyes glistening while his adrenaline ran high.
He jumped over one vampire and flipped in the air then brought his heel down on the head of another. His right hand swung upwards with his katana and deflected a metal pipe aimed at his head while his left hand brought the pistol around to fire off three shots into the midsection of the offending demon.
Jumping off the chest of an already slain demon, he ran towards the building with a multitude of enemies running behind him and growled lowly. quickly sheathing his katana, he leaped forward and knocked the door of the building off its hinges then fell and rolled over on his back and unholstering his other pistol then began to fire into the approaching crowd. The bullets ripped into the growling, roaring, hissing group and he flipped over backwards, still on the ground, and placed himself in a crouch and stood upwards; still firing but walking back towards the elevator.
Glancing over his shoulder for just a second, he kicked the button on the wall and listened for the door to open when a demon suddenly leapt over the others and grabbed his wrists. The large beast, a red colour and covered with tiny bumps wrenched on his arms as if trying to rip them off and Rex thrusted a knee upwards at his stomach. The impact caused him to cough and lean forward only to collect a headbut from the man which forced him to release.
Rex took the opportunity and pmped four bullets into the cranium of the monster then kicked his body away and looked up in terror to see the crowd only a few feet away and quickly holstered both pistols and grabbed his pinwheels.
"Son of a b****!!" He screamed, jumping over the body of the demon and rushing into the crowd with the circular razor-like weapons in hand.
He ducked a fist and slashed the thigh of a demon in rage then recieved a sudden kick that sent him rolling over to the other side of the room. A hand suddenly grabbed him by the head and lifted it to meet a fist and then a knee which sent him skating along the ground towards the other wall, only to be stopped half way by a foot to his stomach.
Rex coughed heavily and struggled to his feet, growling at the laughing hoard then heard a welcome sound. A bell rings and the elevator door opens and he leaned forward and ran in at the group standing between him and his way up. Slashing and kicking, he finally got through even with heavy resistance and slammed his pinwheel into the button and dove inside before the door closed. Landing on his stomach, he felt an arm grab his right leg and start to pull him out but he rolled over and sat up quickly and swung down at the wrist to slice the hand off completely.
Sighing as the doors closed, he stood up and kicked the hand still gripping his leg off and looked up. The pinwheels were returned to his side and he pressed the button for the top floor and waited for the slow elevator to bring him all the way to his friend and companion, as well as his intended target.

She rolled away quickly as he forced his sword down at her. His anger pulsing through her.
"How dare you! How dare you help my enemies! Do you think he loves you?? Stupid girl! He's only using you to destroy me... your own father! He wouldn't have tried to kill you if he actually truly loved you... How foolish you are... and now you shall die for what you have done.... Besides, you're not eve a full vampire anymore... you have angel's blood coursing through youe veins!"
Nikkita sat there. Her stomach killing her. She didn't know what she had left to fight with but she was going to fight to his death... or hers...
"He DOES love me!! And i WILL destroy you!"
She jumped off the floor and flipped over him attempting to slash him in two. He easily blocked her and through her off. She landed hard against the far wall. She looked around her vision blurring but she could still see all the vampires watching her.

Rex waited impatiently in the elevator for almost a minute when he felt the steel box stop moving suddenly.
"What the hell?" He uttered and looked up when a screeching sound above caught his ears.
His head tilted to the side and he fell suddenly when the elevator began a freefall towards the basement.
"sh**!!" He screamed and looked around frantically for an escape then saw the escape door on top.
Jumping upwards, he punched the door off and dragged himself through the small hole and stood on top of the descending object, trying to figure out what to do next. He watched as floors flew by and decided it best to act before it crashed and jumped off, holding onto the steel rope that was reeling upwards and allowed it to pull him with increased speed towards the top.
A sudden crash was heard far below and the steel cable stopped moving. Rex took a firm hold on the cable and started a short climb to the closest exit. He held tightly with his right hand and grabbed his katana from behind him and jammed it into the crease of the door and wrenched it open then swung out and landed on the ground outside the shaft. He rose to his feet and held the weapon down, switching it to his right hand and walked slowly and silently until he rounded a corner and saw seven vampires standing outside a door.
"That must be it." He whispered to himself, tightening his hold on the hilt of the long blade.
The silvery strip of metal rose to just above waist height and he held it out to his right, gripping it with both hands, and started a quick charge at the small group. Before the band could even realise what had happened he had made it past them and cut four of the seven in half. Their bodies fell with a sickening thud and the remaining three, shocked at what had just happened, glared angrily at Rex.
His left hand released the hilt and went down to retrieve his pistol then fired the remaining three bullets into the head of the closest and turned to another and clicked twice.
"Out of bullets?" One hissed with a smirk as the two slowly advanced.
Without responding, Rex sheathed his weapon and reached for the other gun and emptied the almost full clip into the two. Flipping the small switch, the empty clips fell onto the ground and he quickly reloaded both weapons and re-holstered them. He took a deep breath and stood before the door then kicked it open and stepped inside to see Nikkita in a horrid condition on the ground.
"Nikkita!!" He cried and immidiately ran past the occupants and even her father to kneel by her side. "Why? Why did you go on ahead? If I was with you...maybe you wouldnt have gotten hurt like this!"

"I didn't want you to come...." she coughed " I didn't want you to get hurt..."
Her head lowered to the ground and she shut her eyes. She was in bad shape, and by not feeding in a while she didn't have the same strength. Using the wall to help her stand, she rose to her feet and glared at her sire. Slowly she stepped away from the wall and her skin started to turn black and have a leathery texture. Her wings formed again. Her inner demon had risen to the surface. She had one more shot to end this. Her eyes started to glow with rage and turned to little slits.
"This is enough... it ends here... father, you lose!" she growled in a low tone
"You would think so..." he smirked "But it isn't over yet!"
Without warning he lashed out his aura at Rex knocking him back against the wall hard. He also turned into his inner demon. And with a quick burst of speed tackled her to the ground. She heard a dull snap, her wings had been broken. She let out a cry and pushed her attacker off of her and against the far wall.

"But-" He uttered before being so rudely knocked away by the old man's aura.
"Ugh," he said while rubbing his head. "That bastard..."
Rex quickly jumped to his feet and lunged at the tall beast, drawing his katana in one fluent motion and leaping over the demon from behind in a tucking flip while bringing the blade under him to swing at the monster's face. He landed in a crouched slide on the other side of the creature with his back turned to him and slid for a few feet before turning around to recieve a heavy punch that sent him flying into the wall.
"Die quickly you insect!!" The demon roared before turning its attention towards Nikkita.
"Stay...away...from her...." Rex said sternly, rising shakily to his feet and using the wall for support. "I'll kill you if you touch her again..."
"Come stop me Luna!" He screamed and turned around in a charge at Rex's position.
"d**n!!" Rex screamed and anchored himself for impact but got tackled through the wall and flew into another room then slammed into the opposite wall.
The horrid looking beast sneered and turned to walk through the hole it had just made when a voice caused it to stop in its tracks.
"Wait..." Rex strained. "We're not done yet..."
"Then I'll finish you first and deal with my daughter later."
He walked over and grabbed Rex under his arms with one hand and lifted him from the ground as if holding a doll. He then started to squeeze slowly, enjoying the melody of ribs breaking one after another.

She growled and stood once more. Her wings gone and her energy rapidly fading. Her legs shook violently but she knew her purpose. She drew her sword and pulsed her aura through its metal, almost as if it were and extention of herself. She could feel the unbridled hatred rising deep inside her.
"Nikolae" her voice shook.
The old man turned to face her, Rex still at his mercy. Nikkita's eyes flashed and almost as if she had just appeared there she was at the old man's side. Her sword shoved squarely between his ribs. She forced every last bit of energy she had through that blade. He dropped Rex, but kicked Nikkita away who colapsed in a heap.
"REX! He's hurt, really bad... just finish him!" she said before she blacked out.

"I wont allow it!!" Nikolae screamed and took a hold of the hilt of her blade, ripping it from his side and swinging it around just in time to intersect Rex's katana and break his in half using sheer power.
Rex flew against the wall again and coughed up a significant amount of blood then rose to his feet, his eyes shining and a sinister look on his face. He discarded the broken weapon and grabbed his pinwheels and threw them both at Nikolae at the same time but the old beast just moved to the side, avoiding them easily.
"Seems the blood loss has affected your aim Luna." He geered while holding his bleeding side. "I'll finnish you off quickly now."
He charged in at Rex's hunched over body and swung down hard at his head, hitting him hard enough to crush his skull instantly and watched as Rex's head made a sickening cracking sound against the ground. Laughing to himself, he turned towards Nikkita and started slowly towards her.
"Is this all you two can do? How dissapointing..."
"This isnt over yet...." A voice called out from behind him and he growled lowly to himself then turned around to see Rex back in his hunched state, his head bleeding considerably.
"Why wont you DIE!!!?" He screamed as he began what he expected to be his final charge and swung a large fist at his head once more, smashing the ground completely and leaving a hole to the floor below. "What the hell!!?"
A heel descended to his skull from above and he fell through the hole he had just formed and collapsed, motionless on the floor below while Rex hovered in mid air; his eyes releasing a white light and four black wings keeping him suspended above the ground.
Looking over towards Nikkita, he flew back through the hole in the wall and watched the surprised expression on the vampires' faces when they saw him re-appear. He knelt by her and took her in his arms then patted her face gently.
"Please dont die yet..."

She slowly slipped out of conscienceness, the bright vibrant colors that swirled through her head started to dull and fade. Her body screamed for energy, for blood... for anything that would keep her alive at this point. Her head ached terribly and the pain dulled her senses even more. She could feel the broken bones in her body, and the knowledge that she wasn't healing, frightened and calmed her at the same time. She would finally be able to rest.... but she would be alone. She had just enough will power left to open her eyes and gaze at the only person who had truly loved her.
She put her hand softly against his face, tears running down her face. She coughed and blood flooded her throat. She forced her airway clean and her eyes started to cloud.
"its over..." she whispered..."you finally got your repayment..."
Her hand fell and her eyes closed.

Tears filled and overflowed his eyes in moments of seeing her drift away. He pulled her body close to his and cried openly and loudly, hunching over her motionless form while becoming overcome with despair. His tears fell on her face like trickling rain drops and slowly, he released her body and placed her down on her back then rose and wiped the excess tears from his eyes.
His wings suddenly spread outwards, making a whooshing sound as the large black feathers fanned dust into the air. All four folded one by one behind him and he reached down for both pistols then turned to face the remaining vampires that had remained in the room.
"Step in closer..." He said in a cold and terrifying voice, his tears still flowing down his cheeks freely. "I'll kill you all!"

The other vampires just looked at him. Their terrified expressions previlant on their face. And like a heard of cattle they all ran out the door trying to get away from certain death. They all ran out into the hall and fled in different directions. Leaving only Rex, Nikkita, and Nikolae.
"Rex...." Nikkita tried to say, but she could only hear it in her mind.
Tears escaped from her closed eyes.
"I love you..." he soul whispered before it started to leave her.

With a sigh, Rex holstered his pistols once again and turned back towards Nikkita's body. He knelt beside her and picked up her body in his arms, cradling her like a baby before rising to his feet and walking towards the door. He stopped and looked at his pinwheels lodged in the wall beside the door and sighed then walked out, leaving them behind.
The halls seemed much darker than before as he walked down tthe way he came and stopped at the open elevator door and looked down the dark shaft. At this point, his mind was too troubled to feel fear. Holding her even closer, he jumped in and spread his wings slightly to slow his descent and gazed into her face as he fell towards the ground floor.
'Nikkita...' He thought to himself. 'Why? Why did you have to die?'
He slowed to a halt once he arrived at the ground floor, he reached over and forced the doors open uing one hand and a leg along with his back. His wings folded once again and he stepped through the small opening, noticing that the area was completely deserted and just continued his walk out of the building.
Casually, he walked through the silent and empty streets towards the tunnel like entrance and started to walk topside.
About an hour passes and he arrives at the same cove on the beach. Laying her on her back, he sat beside her and looked out at the sunset off in the distance then started sobbing again. This girl...the one he had fallen in love with had died because of him.
"AAARGH!!" Rex screamed and slammed his fist into the soft sand beside her head. "You stupid girl!! WHY!? Why did you go off on your own!?!?"
He collapsed back on his heels and errupted into uncontrollable sobs, looking down at the body which constantly reminded him of a great mistake. Leaning over, he wiped his tears away and whispered into her ear.
'I love you Nikkita. I'll never forget you...'
Just as in that day, reached over with his left hand and grabbed hers and laced their fingers together. His head descended unto hers and he kissed her very softly on the lips one last time just to get some closure, then released her and stood to his feet.
"Maybe now you can rest in peace. Its over."
With that he stepped over her and stood at the entrance to the cove, waiting for the sun to set completely to signal the end to the most painful day in his life.
